Successful orchestration of antiparkinsonian pharmacotherapy

As is true with the orchestration of essentially all forms of pharmacotherapy, the overall quality of therapy should not be judged as a simple binary function (it is either good or bad). Rather, it should be judged along a continuum, spanning adequate through excellent and peaking at truly elegant, where two or more disease states are optimally managed with a single, simple drug. Because the difference between adequate and elegant therapy often depends on fine-tuning the drug choice, dosage, and route of administration, it is no surprise that pharmacists are often intimately involved in many highly successful specialty clinics, including Parkinson's disease clinics.
